Had the MBF w/ my first DD and loved it but I accidentally left it in storage (in another state) when Dd #2 was born, but our hospital gave Bf moms a boppy. It was too fluffy and made DD too high up, also ended up making her have upset tummy because it kept her feet and lower body too even w/ tummy so she had some backup and gas problems. Once we went to a reg throw pillow she was better. So if you can't get a my breast friend I say buy or use a small throw pillow instead. The boppy is great for letting the baby "situp".

That reminds me, I need to find that and wash the cover. New baby is coming in a couple of months.

ok I must be weird .. I really like my boppy .. .. I havent tried anything else though .. I either use my boppy or just a regular pillow .. never had problems with mine "caving" in .. but maybe thats just because dd is just now 10lbs .. .. with DS my friend made me a "boppy" .. and I used it for my son and then also with dd until she was about a month old .. and then dh accidentally ripped it ..

I, too, really like my boppy. I have two: one I got new that I use in a chair with arms and one old deflated one that I got used. I use that one for nursing at the computer. Because it's a little flat, it works nicely on top of the desk and I can type with both hands. My dd is 12 1/2 months old, 22 pounds, and we still use our boppies! (And I'm not a skinny minny, either. I'm a nice round size 16!) So I guess it's whatever works for you. I can't use my boppy in bed or on the couch, I have to have something for it to prop on, like the arms of the recliner. Then I recline in it to get the right height for nursing. Very comfy and yes, I slept that way a lot in the beginning!

okay I seem to be in the minority. I LOVED MY BOPPY. It was so great that I bought two of them. I still have them and use them. I hated a regular pillow. I never tried anything else becaue the boppy worked so well for me. I even used it for tandem nursing my almost 2 year old and newborn. It was great. I am not a small person either I am 5'4" and 220 lbs. So I am fluffy. I like the fact that the pillow really puffed up after washing and drying it so it was like brand new and since I had 2 of them and kids who puked on them regularly, they were washed weekly and were always like new. They are still in great shape 3 years later.
